1t seems that the now famous Count de
Mitlcewicz had attained some distinction
before his invasion of China, his portrait
having appeared in the Police Gazette as
long ago as 1880, together with little
biographical SKETCH of which, it is needless
to say, the Count is not proud. His con-
cessions from China may turn out to be of
as worthless character as his own.

If life were always summer
And the skies were ever blue,
And winds all soft as sigh here,
How rare it were to lie here,
Careless Of what's to come, or
The things one has TODD;
If life were always summer.
And skies were ever blue.
If one could change the city
For lazy scenes like this.
Then who would care for duty,
Or fashions pinkest beauty,
Or think compilations pretty
That blushed beneath kiss;
If one could change the city
For lazy scenes like this.
If friends were all delightful,
And women all like you,
And never came the morrow
To teach us newer sorrow,
And every bliss were rightful,
By Jove. what could we rue?
If friends were all delightful,
And women all like you.

Jay Gould is more cunning than fox. When
grapes hang a little beyond his reach he does
NOT try to coax them down. He simply sits
placldly by and waits until they are overripe,
when they fall into his open mouth. The Balti

The Knights of Labor of Baltimore have
adopted resolutions denouncing the Demo-
cratic candidate for Governor of Maryland,
ar. Jackson, and will do everything in their
power to defeat him. Their opposition is
based on the fact that he employs non-union
labor. This action makes the revolt led by
DIR. Cowan Of more Importance, and may
Eurn the State over to the Republicans.

Proper Poultice for sherman's Boom.

John Sherman is making speeches in the

The Boston correspondent of the New
York Freeman negro organ complains
bitterly because Republicans, who are also
Abolitionists, refuse TO rent houses to col
ored people, because of their color, as
neighbors would object to their presence,
and it would depreciate the value of their
property. He calls several of them by
name, and speaks Of them as "cowardly
creatures" This is further proof that the
humanitarian theories concerning the
proper treatment of the negro, which these
"old Abolitionists" so ardently advocate,
are only intended for application in the
South. They cannot be allowed to interfere
with the renting value of their own houses.

FALL River, MASS, Feb. 23.-At Q
meeting Of the Board Of Trade yesterday
the spinners' request for an advance ol
wages was considered.
An answer was sent to Secretary How.
ard, OF the Union, stating that the condi
tons OF trade had not changed since the
conference las! November, except thai
coal and cotton were higher, and that the
mills could mot grant the advance now
any better than they could three months
ago. The request for an advance was
therefore refused again. 1Ss ~
This answer was read at a special meet
ing OF tho spinners' Union last night, and
was not satisfactory. The meeting was
one OF the largest ever held by the spin
ners. Many CT the speakers argued that
in spite OF the statement OF tho msnuiac'
turers, the condition OF the business and
the profits Of tho mills warranted an in
crease OF wages at the present time
Othor speakers urged the spinners to hus
band their resources and practice rigid
economy in order to ba prepared for .
strike ii one should come. +.
A communication was read from the
Spinners' Union Of New Bedford, asking
for prices Of cotton aud cloth, with view
Of demanding an advance. It was also
stated that the weayera here were prepar
ing petitions for an advance. The wage
question was referred to a committee O.
twelve, with, instructions to prepare suct
o plan Of action as might be deemed bes
calculated to procure the desired advance.
